Emphasizing salvation based on faith in the merits of Jesus Christ alone, Martin Luther dealt the symbolic blow that began the Reformation when he nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg church. That document contained an attack on papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by Catholic Church offcials. In this unique volume, the reader will find Luther's most significant sermons for Advent and Christmas Day, following the church year's lectionary readings associated with the major feasts and fasts. Luther wrote thousands of pages of exposition during his life, but this book makes available in a single volume a core collection of his writing for this liturgical season, featuring Scripture readings that include the most familiar events from the life of Jesus. Other volumes in this series include Luther's sermons for the Sunday after Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and Epiphany, and his sermons for Lent and Easter through Trinity Sunday (including Christ's Ascension and Pentecost). These writings represent the heart of Luther's thoughts on the Christian faith and his ideas for practical faith in that life.

In November and December 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered five lectures for the renowned Massey Lecture Series of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The collection was immediately released as a book under the title Conscience for Change, but after King’s assassination in 1968, it was republished as The Trumpet of Conscience. The collection sums up his lasting creed and is his final testament on racism, poverty, and war. Each oration in this volume encompasses a distinct theme and speaks prophetically to today’s perils, addressing issues of equality, conscience and war, the mobilization of young people, and nonviolence. Collectively, they reveal some of King’s most introspective reflections and final impressions of the movement while illustrating how he never lost sight of our shared goals for justice. The book concludes with “A Christmas Sermon on Peace”—a powerful lecture that was broadcast live from Ebenezer Baptist Church on Christmas Eve in 1967. In it King articulates his long-term vision of nonviolence as a path to world peace.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... jForeworb, It is now a year since The Luther Press issued its last volume, "Luther on Christian Education," containing his best catechetical writings. We are happy in assuring the growing list of advance subscribers, however, that the enterprise has received no backset. On the contrary, it has grown in every respect, especially in the efficiency of our co-laborers and in the favor it has received from our institutions of learning. The problem of the young people is the burning question at present; and as Catechetics is about the only branch of theology teaching future pastors their duties to the young, the last volume met a long-felt want, both as a text-book and as a help for side reading on many subjects. For example, the president of one institution ordered one hundred copies and turned his whole school into a Luther-class for one period every Thursday afternoon to study it. The experiment was a success. It is better to study the classics Luther wrote than what others have written about him. "He is, in the best sense, modern, up-to-date, the prophet of our times." Read him, and judge for yourself. State schools also support chapel services, a Y. M. C. A. and occasional Christian sermons and lectures. But church schools are expected to do more. It is indeed a sad sight to see a foundation going to ruin because the building is not erected. Supporters of Christian schools are now beginning to realize that the only reason for their existence is that they are Christian. No church lays a better foundation in the hearts of the young for Christian culture than the Lutheran and no worse advertisement of a Lutheran school is conceivable than for its students to return home without any growth or development in harmony with their catechism...
